Jim Ross posted his latest blog on his website, and you can read a few highlights below:
Jim Ross comments on Smackdown’s women’s division, the women’s Money In The Bank match:
SD Live saw the five women who were featured arguably ‘steal the show’ Tuesday night in Atlanta. The SDLIve women especially seems to relish in raising the athletic bar and to continue to break barriers previously set by their predecessors. From the cold open where we heard sound bytes from the participants which made the match have more clout and importance, this was a memorable night for SDLIve’s women. The creative felt right and the women including Charlotte, Nattie, Carmella, Becky Lynch, and Tamina all carried their share of the water in successfully building to the first ever MITB Women’s match in St Louis at the Money in the Bank event
It’s arguable that the women of SD Live are seemingly taking more advantage of maximizing their minutes in the ring and on TV in general. The risk/reward ratio is arguably never been higher for any female athlete in WWE to date with the booking of the MITB Match. Obviously these women will do all that they can to deliver a memorable outing at MITB which likely concerns some fans as it should.
JR comments on AJ Styles losing in his hometown:
AJ Styles losing in ATL, his home market, was a bit of a surprise but not totally shocking. Other than seemingly taking the air out of the live audience a bit I see no issues with this outcome and for those who complain about the overall genre generally being too precipitable, this outcome should have been acceptable to some degree. I thought the two had an enjoyable bout.
